The New York papers few days ago
had story about the attempt of Rem

from New York, to poison himself to death
in Meyers Hotel, in Washington street,

| of Druggist Molz, in whose service he once
was. Druggist Molz killed himself with
| poison a few months ago. The young would
| be suicide is now lying in St. Mary,s hos

interesting details in the Hoboken Evening
News of yesterday afternoon.
sit seems" says thatspaper, ''that Dr.
Molz, whose drug store was on First street,
started for Europe last summer. His sis
ter, young and prepossessing blonde,
pleaded with the druggist to return to this
country with him, and after much persua
sion he reluctantly consented Arriving in
this country, the buxom German lass was
installed in the household of her brother,
and matters went along smoothly until the
druggist noticed that his clerk, Remwaldt
Stultz, the morphine eater, who is now in
st. Mary's Hospital, was desperately enam-
ored % her. The girl seemingly recipro-
Gated the affection, but to appease the an
ger of her brother she declared that she
would break off the attachment. 1t is
doubtful if she cid, as the young man was
desperate, his love being apparently I'M
quenchable. Finally DR.. Molz declared
That his clerk had tempered with his money
drawer and peremptorily dismissed him.
The girl, after that exposure, plainly told
the clerk that she no longer wished to see
him.
He loitered around the house night aud
day, and more than once DR.. Moiz sur-
sued him with O revolver. Officer DAWN
was appealed to and on more than one oc-
casion he forced the loyesick druggist to
beat a retreat DR.. Molz decided to send
his sister back to Germany to escape perse-
cuti0n. The steamer Traye, of the Bre-
men Line, was to sail at 5 a. NJ, and n
hour before that Dr. Molz had closed
carriage at his door. About 4:30 o'clock
DR.. Molz entered with his sister and OFF,

been seen 1rowng about the nelghbor-
hood. DR.. NJ ~ carrivd d derringer and
he declared To Dawn that he would shoot
Stultz on sIgnt, Wuen the carriage rolled
along River street towards tie wharf en-
trance, officer DAWN saw Stultz
concealed behind sign board He
leaped out of the coach aud seized the
clerk, the driver bang instructed to pro-
ceed.
Stultz implored to get bnt glimpse of
his departing sweetheart, but he was pre-
vented from gsing on the wharf, for lear
that DR.. Molz would shoot him.
When DR.. Molz got home he entered the
drug store, the two clerks being asleep in
their hunks. He aroused one of the clerks
and told him excitedly how he would have
shot Stultz if he had seen him on the dock.
He emphasized his remarks by discharge ng
his pistol, the bullet entering the floor
Neither one of the clerks would have given
penny for their lives at that moment, as
DR.. Molz was dreadfully excited.
When few minutes afterwards DR.
Molz took his own life, it was found he had
left all hit property to his sister, and it Is
thought that the condition of the bequest
was that she would not marry Stultz.
Stultz heard the gial was in Hoboken few
days ago and went to Hoboken to learn
that she was still in Europe. In fit of
Respondent disappointment he took the
poison from which he now suffers,
